American Standard  Mainstream FloWise WaterSense™ High-Performance Round Complete Toilet

Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars
I can personally speak to this toilet.  I replaced two of them in my home with this one and true to the advertising, after two years, these toilets have saved us money, saved water, and flushed everything a 3 years old can throw in it.  As a bonus, the price was perfect.

This unit costs about $129.00 at LOWES!

Bathroom: Go Airblade

I’ll say right up front that the Dyson Airblade is more of an investment rather than going Green, besides, the towel your grandmother used is just as good today as it was back then.

But, some businesses and house holds are starting to upgrade.

When compared to the old hand dryer – basically a cold, soft air, that gradually got warmer, while you literally grew a 5 O’clock shadow waiting, still never even got the job done. You almost always ended up drying your hands on your pants on the way out the door.

There’s several Blade Models out there — key word being BLADE. The new guys on the block require you to stick your hands into the apparatus while it shoots an eyelash thin beam of hot air on your hands…as you slowly pull them out. They literally sheer the water from your skin. Leaving the skin.
